Die set bearings.

The SDS and DDS series of die sets feature the plane bearing material Frelon Gold. These flange mounted units are available for shaft sizes ranging from 1- to 2-in. The option of a single bearing or double bearings offers flexible performance. The housings are made of black oxide-finished steel shells for heavy duty applications, and eliminate the need for lubrication and metal-to-metal contact. The Frelon Gold-lined bearings used in the SDS/DDS series offers many advantages over traditional bushings, including up to 20 times the load capacity of a linear ball bearing; simultaneous linear, rotary, oscillating movements; extreme temperature range (-400° to +500°F); and elimination of catastrophic failure. Pacific Bearing Co, PO Box 6980, Rockford, IL 61125-6980. 800-962-8979. Circle 623.

Space-saving guides. The DryLin N line is ideal for applications where space is limited. The DryLin N has an overall height of 0.37-in., an overall width of 1.06-in. and an overall length of 78.7-in. The bearing carriage features sliding strips of iglide J thermoplastic material. The bearing clearances are within a range from 0.006- to 0.010-in. The series is self-lubricating, maintenance-free and operates quietly. igus Inc, PO Box 14349, East Providence, RI 02914. 888-803-1895. Circle 621.

Linear guide. The R-series of linear guides are ideal for medical device, semiconductor processing, and PC board assembly. Available in 7, 9 and 12mm sizes, these guides provide excellent corrosion resistance, equal load carrying capacity in all directions, and feature an industry standard envelope with a bolt-hole pattern for drop-in replacement of existing guides. Thomson Industries, 2 Channel Dr, Port Washington, NY 11050-2214. 516-883-8000. Circle 620.

Full-extension drawer slide. The 9301 full-extension drawer slide is designed for use in a variety of heavy-duty storage applications. The series has a load rating range from 110 to 500 lbs., depending upon slide usage. The 9301 requires 0.75 in. of side space and features extra silencing during drawer closure. It is available in a wide range of lengths to a maximum of 60 in. Accuride Inc, 12311 Shoemaker Ave, Santa Fe Springs, CA 90670. 562-903-0200. Circle 625.

Linear motor positioner. The Lineax-8 stages are packaged in an extremely low 62mm profile and are complete and ready to run. The brushless, linear servo motor that drives the stage is cog-free, and will maintain precise velocity control. Travel range is from 150 to 1000mm. Lineax-8 performance specifications include velocities to 2.4 meters per second, acceleration to 2G and a repeatability of less than 500nm. Nutec Components Inc, 100 Jefryn Blvd, Deer Park, NY 11729. 516-242-1225. Circle 627.

Linear stages. The CG3 line features precision crossed roller linear bearings. CG3 crossed roller stages provide smooth, quiet, repeatable, frictionless motion while providing flatness, and a straight-line accuracy of 2 micron/mm stroke. CG3 stages are available in aluminum, stainless steel or cast iron, with a choice of ballscrews or leadscrews. They include English or metric mounting holes, single piece 17 frame motor mount, and an aluminum flexible coupling as standard. American Linear Manufacturers, 47 New York Ave, Westbury, NY 11590. 800-892-3991. Circle 622.

Shaft support rails. The SR series of aluminum support rails provides high accuracy for linear motion systems. They can be used vertically or horizontally for optimum rigidity. Produced in 24- and 48-in. lengths, and available in sizes to accommodate shafts up to 4-in. diameter, the support rails provide a height tolerance of ±0.002-in. over the entire length of the extrusion. Lee Controls Inc, 727 South Ave, Piscataway, NJ 08854. 800-221-0811. Circle 626.

Ball bearing slide. The LBS line is designed to provide smooth accessibility for placement, removal and service of internally-mounted equipment and instrumentation. With load capacities ranging from 50 to 930 lbs, LBS ball-bearing slides are particularly suited to accommodate a variety of instruments and equipment that require frequent checking and monitoring. Slide members are made from 14-gauge cold-rolled steel. They are zinc plated and sealed with a bright finish for extended longevity. The lubricant applied to the slides' ball bearings has an operational span of -65° to 650°F. General Devices, PO Box 39100, Indianapolis, IN 46239-0100. 800-626-9484. Circle 624.
